Kristen Stewart has revealed her parents weren’t keen on her becoming an actress.

The 19-year-old starlet — who is currently in Vancouver, Canada, shooting the third Twilight film, Eclipse — says her mother and father were initially against the idea of their daughter embarking on a career in show business.

“They said, ‘We don’t want to be stage-mums’,” Kristen told a British newspaper. “My dad was a stage manager then and was like, ‘oh my God, I don’t want my kid doing this’.

“My parents were reluctant and I think I just remembered thinking: ‘Actually that might be really cool. I might want to go on a few auditions. I might work.’”

Kristen — who is rumored to be dating her Twi costar Robert Pattinson — auditioned relentlessly for a year without booking a single job. “It took a really long time until I was totally over it and then came my last audition,” she said.

“I went to it and I didn’t even want to. My mum said: ‘Well, this is the last one. You don’t have to go to any more.’ And that was the first movie I got.”

Kristen also revealed that she isn’t particularly interested in fashion.

“Fashion isn’t something I think about a whole lot and it’s such a large area of the media,” she said.
